@Koore It's the whole message of joy being recognized in these last few weeks and in particular, the DNC. It matters, and you remind me how important what happens in this election matters to the world.

@Koore That's very kind of you to say. I try to arm myself with the knowledge others have suffered far worse than I ever will from this grotesque human and his followers. If they can still be in the fight, so should I.

@Koore I'm already on the team. It's for the "new recruits," and I get it.
But still, ach.

@LnzyHou @BrazenlyLiberal @Notokay Yeah. Let's hope that is the last sputtering of the Tea Party.

@LlamaMountainStudioArts When vegies are frozen, it mucks them up pretty badly and broccoli stems are particularly vulnerable to woodiness. When I make stir-fry, I like to get the stemmiest crowns of broccoli I can find and pare off the tough skin. It makes for a water chestnut-like crunch and without the stringy toughness.

@Koore If only we could forget....

@BrazenlyLiberal @Notokay @LnzyHou @tirebiter73 All good points. The Dem Party truly is a large tent, and as of the last decade, seemingly the only party that is actually invested in genuine debate and governance. I have often wondered if today's GOP is destined to extinction, and the more centrist part of the Dem Party cleaves to create a new Party - a credible counterpoint- to the progressives. That is, if it is still important to have two (or more) defined, legitimate political parties.

@LnzyHou @tirebiter73 Yeah, and thinner. I think he's had that tremor for a decade or more. We's all a bit older now! 😋 And, I avoid mirrors. Damn things lie to me every day now!

@LnzyHou @tirebiter73 I think there is a collective cringe whenever Bill takes the podium. He managed to state some good things, but I'm eager for class of '24 to make some amazing political headway.

@tirebiter73 Jabba the Huckster was born June 14, 1946; Bill Clinton August 19, 1946. Bill is younger by 2 months.

@TR_forester6291 @JanetZumba_FalPals 💯

@JanetZumba_FalPals That was a short-lived and failed experiment McGoebbels tried and discarded soon after in an attempt to make him himself look less loathsome.

I mean, it is perfect....

@Liliki So perfect!

Jeff Tiedrich just labelled Stephen Miller, "Nosferatu McGoebbels" and I'm all for it: https://open.substack.com/pub/jefftiedrich/p/dnc-day-two-donald-trump-has-a-sad

@AskTheDevil @allin I still love Judy's singing the classic "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" - truly a timeless rendition that's kinda burned into my DNA by now.
